This is the only variation of this shape that was ever manufactured. Jens Quistgaard used a top quality grinding mechanisms made of case-hardened steel by Peugeot Freres Lion, France. The grinder has an authentic insignia with lion and arrow and known to be the best on the market for almost 200 years (since 1840). The durability of these mechanisms and their proven track record allows Peugeot to provide a lifetime guarantee on the grinding mechanism. The peppermill is 5 (12.7 cm) tall.
The square bottom measures 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" (7 cm x 7 cm). This 50+ years old piece is in excellent, all original vintage condition. It looks like it was barely used, but well cared for. The natural finish and dark patina preserved beautifully (please view photos attached).
The top of this salt shaker has 8 holes and a ball shaped wooden plug. We tested the grinding mechanism. It works beautifully by producing a medium size grind! The piece is very clean, comes from smoke free environment and would be a perfect addition to any of mid-century, Eames style collection! Beautiful decorative object, useful piece of art, wonderful and very elegant gift as well as a great investment! With normal care it will last for generations...
